...not because you want some kind of reaction out of her. This is more about you getting some respect back for yourself.

The thing about your sitch is this- you're fine sleeping alone, or in the same bed with her. Go back to the bedroom and tell her she's welcome to stay or go, that's up to her. SHE is the one that wants you out of the bed. That is HER problem, not yours. If she complains just politely tell her you never should have left and it's not going to happen again.

If she brings it up, then just tell her it is not what you want, but you understand it's what she wants and you will not stand in the way of her decision. You want to stress that it is HER decision. And SHE needs to do all the work. Don't get baited into agreeing to do it yourself, if she tries that then tell that you don't want it and will not pursue it.
